Papel picado is a very versatile, inexpensive medium for
decorating your table for special events, parties or holidays to create
a unique, festive atmosphere.

Embellish your dinner table with a hand made folk art touch.
Start with a table cloth or liner cut from colorful cut tissue or white
Japanese rice paper. Or use a simple tablecloth embellished with festive
papel picado place mats. A cluster of mini cut paper luminarias (punched
candle lit paper bags) can be added to the center of the table in place
of a centerpiece for a dramatic touch. Hand made cut paper doilies highlight
platters and baskets of bread or pastries. These decorations come in an
assortment of colors appropriate for your holiday decorating. . You can
find these items and more on the cut-it-out.org web site, and they are
available through pay pal, for easy, fast ordering, just in time for Christmas,
Halloween, Easter, weddings, birthdays or a colorful fiesta celebration.
